Exactly why I'm hesitant. The robo-vacuums have been highly disappointing and do a much worse job than taking the few moments to vacuum myself. I still have one that I run constantly because it's slightly better than nothing on a daily basis.
These cons don't seem terrible. Maybe in a few months we'll see some new ones on the market and see prices a bit more competitive. Appreciate all the input.
- ghaff 7y agoI had periodically thought about getting a robovac but: - They're expensive, especially the high-end ones. - They'd only do a portion of the house, albeit the part that gets the most traffic - However, it's also the portion of the house that tends to have a pile or two of stuff that's being prepared for a trip or has just come back from a trip, various cords here and there, etc. In the end, I ended up just getting a cordless vac that I can pull out in a few seconds if some vacuuming is needed. (I have a housekeeper who comes every month or so, so it's mostly about doing some light touchup between full cleanings.)
- whywhywhywhy 7y agoFound the exact opposite, although I was living in a carpeted flat when I bought mine. Vacuuming turned from something I'd have to put aside an afternoon for to something that just sorts itself out. Probably my fave tech purchase this decade.
